The Stomach DistIIs Acids.

There, if existent in natural quantity,
and unvitiated by bile,pIay their part in the
functions of digestion and assimilation. But
the artificial acid resulting from the inabili-
ty of the stomach to convert food received by
1t into sustenance, is the producer Of hatu-
ence and heartburn, which are the most
harassing symptoms Of dyspepsia. The
best carminative is HostettOr's Stom ach Bit
ters. Far more effective is 1t than carbonate
of soda, maRnesia or other alkaline salts.
These invariably weaken the stomach with
out producing permanent benefit. No man
or woman chemically dyspeptic, and conse-
quently nervous, can DO in possession of the
full measure of vigor allowed by nature.
Therefore, inviEorate and regulate the sys-
tenn, and By so doing protect it from malaria,
rheumatism and other serious maladieg.

ADVICE TO CATHOLICS.
A Pastoral Letter I'm which Church
People Are WarRed Against
ExtraVagant Funerals.

TORONTO, ONT, April 6.-Archbishop
Lynn has issued pastoral letter to
The clergy of the archdiocese, warn
ing Catholics against exiravagancs
at funerals in the shape of mag
nifcent cJffius and heaps of flowers
shaped into ludicrous and un-
seemly Cesigns. It says: "The
Church permits crown OF howers-es
the sign Of heavenly joy-upon the
heads of children only who have not
attained the sge Of reason. A simple
pail is all she allows on the cofii1 Of
those who have reached the sgs OF
reason. You are hereby eDj oined to
see that these rules of the church be
for the future religiously and strictly
carried out" This letter also speaks
of the enormity of turning the great
day of grief and mourning, the ami
venary of the death OF Christ, into a
day OF pleasure and amusement; a day
of thesters and horse racing and prize
shooting. Catholics must not be led
away by the sad example Of people
who are too often in ignorance of the
meaning Of the day, who know OF
Good Friday this only, that it is a
bank holiday.

NASHVILLE, TENN, March o.
Three months ago, when the reverend
journalist, Sam Small, was whooping
things up in Nashville at suppo5i-
tiously lively rate he was eating and
sleeping at one of the best hotels in
this city. When he folded his wings
and fl tied to other sections in search
Of souls and grsent acks he left bun
die of clothes at the hotel, but the
small matter OF settling his little bill
Of s34 for the citing aud sleeping
aforesaid entirely escaped his mo tai
mind. The hotel men patiently
waited for remittance from the rev.
erend akipper, but none came, and at
length, when patience ceBeed to be q
virtue, the bill was forwarded to Mr..
SmslPs supposed residence in Atlanta,
with request for settlement. To.
day the following insulting reply was
received, Gated at the United States
Hotel, Boston:
DEAR SIR-Your letter addressed to Allan
ia has just reached M. have been absent
two months, and my wife most of the time,
and hence the miscarriage Of your letter to
me. My dear sir, don I make fool of your
self. had no idea you were so nearly on
the verge of bankruptcy as your lett would
indicate / will be busy en- route, 20 that
you would not reach me until the Goth, at
Cinsinnati, when, if you will kindly draw
on me by sight draft, care OF the Gibson

the same. With best wishes for your pros

Borneo's Flying Tree-Frog.

One of the most curious and interest
ing reptiles which met with in Borneo
was alarge tree-frog, which was brought
me by one of the Chinese workmen. He
assured me that he had seen it come
down, in q slanting direction, from a
high tree, as if it flew. On examining
1t, I found the toes very long and fully
webbed to their very extremity, SO that
when expanded they offered q surface
much larger than the body. The fore
legs were also bordered by membrane,
and the body was capable of consider
able imitation. The back and limbs
were of very deep shining green color,
the under surface and the inner toes
yellow, while the webs were black,
rayed with yellow. The body was
about four inches in length, while the
webs of each hind foot, when fully ex-
panded, covered surface of four square
inches, and the webs of all the feet to-
gether about twelve square inches. As
the extremities of the toes have dilated
disks for adhesion, showing the crea-
ture to be true tree-frog, it is difficult
to imagine that this immense membrane
of the toes can be for the purpose Of
swimming only, and the account of the
Chinaman that it flew down from the
tree becomes more credible. La Ma
